Sean O’Malley has made quite the claim on his minuscule royalty percentage with Reebok. O’Malley is considered to be a bright prospect in the UFC’s bantamweight division who has massive star potential. The “Sugar” show has gained quite a following and has grown in popularity rapidly. Even at this stage of his young career, O’Malley […]

Rising star ‘Suga’ Sean O’Malley claims sportswear giant Reebok paid him just $3000 despite the fact he helped the company generate over $1 million in sales.
In 2015 the UFC signed an exclusive six-year deal with Reebok making the sportswear giant the promotions fight night apparel provider. This has taken away a large portion of revenue available to UFC fighters who used to make good money from companies who would sponsor their fight kit.
Some fighters are lucky enough to have a personalized line with Reebok – O’Malley is one such fighter. This allows them to make money off the back of whatever products Reebok sells with their name or face on. According to O’Malley, his Reebok gear has been flying off the shelves but what he received in return was next to nothing in comparison to what Reebok made.
Speaking to Brendan Schaub on Food Truck Diaries O’Malley expressed his shock that he only received $3000 when Reebok had generated over $1 million selling his merchandise, he said.
“I got royalties from Reebok. If I read it right, which I think I did—and I even sent it to my dad like, ‘Did I read this right?’ He said yes, so unless we both can’t read. They made over a million dollars on all my merch, and I got like $3,000.
“It’s ridiculous. I thought I got 15%, but they’re like ‘Well, you get 15% of this, but of this, and then these guys get it, and then you get 50% of that.’ I’m like holy sh*t,” O’Malley added. “Then, they make all these sweet shirts on Reebok … and I’m like don’t buy that!” (Transcribed by BJPENN.com)
The UFC are currently exploring options as their six-year deal with Reebok is due to expire. Dana White claimed either Nike, Under Armour or Venum would be the next official outfitter for the UFC.

Sean O’Malley had a highlight-reel knockout win over Eddie Wineland at UFC 250. But, for Michael Bisping, he says “Sugar” needs to face stiffer competition. O’Malley is currently undefeated as a pro at 12-0 and 4-0 inside the Octagon. Yet, the 25-year-old has yet to face a ranked opponent which Bisping says needs to change. […]

Tonight at UFC 269, both Cody Garbrandt and Sean O’Malley will be in action. They won’t be facing one another, however. In fact, they won’t even be fighting in the same division.
Despite the Twitter beef between the two men, the odds of them fighting are farther apart than ever before, even though the two squared up in the pre-fight press conference earlier this week.
Also earlier this week, UFC President Dana White openly stated that O’Malley is not ready to fight “top” opponents, even though O’Malley himself says he would have loved to have fought a higher-ranked opponent, with Garbrandt being among that list.
Just as Dana White is against O’Malley facing “top” opponents now, he felt the same way last year.

Headline: UFC President Dana White Shuts Down Cody Garbrandt vs. Sean O’Malley Talk
Author: Fernando Quiles Jr.
UFC president Dana White doesn’t feel it’s the right time to book Cody Garbrandt vs. Sean O’Malley.
O’Malley and Garbrandt have been throwing some verbal jabs ever since UFC 250. Both men scored spectacular one-punch knockouts that earned them performance bonuses. They then got into a fun back-and-forth over who had the better finish. Then, O’Malley expressed his belief that he can knock Garbrandt out. Obviously, “No Love” disagrees.
O’Malley is still quite young in his pro MMA career. While many are calling for him to get a step up a competition, a bout with a former UFC bantamweight champion as dangerous as Garbrandt might be too soon. That’s the belief White shared during his appearance on The Schmozone Podcast (h/t BJPenn.com).
“The problem is, you take a Sean O’ Malley…first of all he has been off for a couple of years, young kid, just coming in, like where does he goes from here? You got to give this kid a few more fights before he gets to Cody Garbrandt,” White said. “If he fought and beat Cody Garbrandt, then he’d break into the top five, and very few people in their careers break into the top five.”
O’Malley’s pro MMA record sits at a perfect 12-0. He’s coming off a highlight reel knockout over Eddie Wineland. It’s the “Sugar” show’s eighth win by way of knockout.
As for Garbrandt, he put a halt to his flyweight plans after knocking out Raphael Assuncao. “No Love” now aims to work his way back to the bantamweight title picture. Defeating Assuncao put Garbrandt back in the top five 135-pound rankings.
While Garbrandt vs. O’Malley probably won’t take place at this time, don’t rule it out in the future. If O’Malley ends up living up to the hype and Garbrandt continues to bounce back, we may very well be seeing “No Love” vs. “Sugar.”

A potential fight between rising star Sean O’Malley and former bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt will not be happening next or anytime soon according to the UFC president Dana White.
Since ‘Suga’ and ‘No Love’ had high profile knockout wins at UFC 250 fans have been clamoring to see the two fighters face off. Both men have also played into the narrative and have exchanged jibes over social media and through interviews.
O’Malley who has just broken the top 15 at bantamweight has gone on record to guarantee he would knock out the fifth-ranked fighter in the world if they fought, he said.
“Yeah, absolutely, 100 percent. I feel like I’d knock Cody out. I mean, he looked more improved on Saturday. He looked like he was more calculated, more calm, he looked very much improved since getting knocked out three times,” O’Malley explained. “So, he did improve, he is high-level. He’s a very, very dangerous opponent and anyone that just throws bombs like that is dangerous. I feel like I’m calculated enough, accurate enough, and skilled enough to be able to knock him out. It’s a win-win fight for me.”
Speaking on the latest episode of The Schmozone Podcast White revealed he is focused on making O’Malley a future star of the sport, he said.
“He is one of the kids we are focused on and have been since the ‘Contender Series. He had some issues he had to deal with the last couple of years, which is brutal. But it’s given him a chance to heal up and here we are.”
While White recognises the talent and potential O’Malley posseses, he is keen not to rush the 25-year-old into big fights before he is ready – hence why ‘Suga’ will not be fight Garbradnt next.
“The problem is, you take a Sean O’ Malley…first of all he has been off for a couple of years, young kid, just coming in, like where does he goes from here? You got to give this kid a few more fights before he gets to Cody Garbrandt,” White said. “If he fought and beat Cody Garbrandt, then he’d break into the top five, and very few people in their careers break into the top five.” (Transcribed by BJPENN.com)
